Wilmington, Delaware — On June 24, 2026, shortly after 11 p.m., Wilmington Police Officers were patrolling near the intersection of 24th and Jessup streets when they encountered a large gathering of people. According to investigators, officers believed they saw 19-year-old Kadir Skinner with a handgun and moved toward him, prompting him to run from the area. Body-camera footage released weeks later shows an officer leaving his patrol vehicle and sprinting after Skinner along a sidewalk. The recording begins without audio because of the camera's buffering feature, but sound activates moments before the officer fires several shots during the brief foot pursuit. Within seconds, Skinner falls to the ground as officers continue giving commands to drop a weapon while securing the scene.

As officers approached the wounded teenager, Skinner repeatedly insisted he was unarmed and soon complained that he could not breathe. The officer who fired the shots told arriving officers that an object had been discarded, leading another officer to search the nearby grass before reporting that a firearm had been recovered. While officers handcuffed Skinner and requested emergency medical assistance, neighbors and family members rushed toward the scene, shouting for police to help him and questioning the officers' actions. The emotional confrontation intensified as bystanders were pushed back and officers worked to control the growing crowd before Skinner was eventually carried to a police cruiser and transported to Wilmington Hospital.

Skinner later died from his injuries, and the shooting quickly became the focus of multiple investigations and public scrutiny. After the Delaware Department of Justice released body-camera footage from three responding officers, attorneys representing Skinner's family argued the videos conflict with the official account that he posed an immediate threat before the shooting, maintaining that the recordings do not clearly show him pointing a firearm at anyone. The family has since filed a $25 million claim against the City of Wilmington and is seeking criminal charges against the officer involved. Meanwhile, state officials say both the independent Department of Justice review and the Wilmington Police Department's internal investigation remain active, with a comprehensive report and the identities of the officers expected to be released after the investigations are completed.

Meanwhile, you (-) can't even speak freely without potentially being hauled off to jail. Your country is being turned into a dystopian, multicultural shithole and yet you're worried about our 2A rights.

Oh I'm sure he was a good boy, loved by his family, a singer in the church choir and volunteered at an old folks home. LOL
